MARIN COUNTY, Calif. - Twenty Holstein dairy cows grazing in the green hills here apparently got spooked late Wednesday morning and ran straight off a cliff, tumbling 50 feet down a steep hillside as stunned motorists looked on.
Miraculously, all but two survived.
Witnesses reported seeing the heifers tumble tail over tea kettle down the steep hillside before landing in a heap.
Authorities were at a loss to explain what might have caused the stampede but surmised something - most likely a rattlesnake or a predator of some sort - frightened one of the cows. The rest of the herd, they assume, simply followed her over the cliff.
